Q: How do I recover deleted browser history? Windows Vista, and the browser IE7. Is it possible to use the regedit command to view it?
Read Answer HereQ: I was previously running IE8 on Vista but kept crashing, so I uninstalled IE8 to go back to IE7 which always worked fine. Now some web pages load on the left side of my screen (like a grocery list). Some pages load ok and some don’t. How do I fix this? Thanks!
Q: I am using Windows XP IE7. I use Bitdefender and it ran updates last night. Now my IE7 toolbar is hidden. I tried ALT and it didn’t work. Neither did F11. I can’t use the TOOL button which is suggested at times, because it is on the toolbar that I cannot see. I don’t have the gold star nor anything else showing.
Q: I want to set yahoo as my primary email on Internet Explorer 7. I have downloaded yahoo messenger and it is suppose to put yahoo mail in the list for email. That is under Internet options, and then programs. Yahoo mail does not show up. I have tried this before and it worked, but does not now. How come I cannot get this to work?
Q: I have Windows XP Home Edition and Internet Explorer 7. My question is this: How do I unhide the Menu Bar in Internet Explorer 7, so that I can see File, Edit, Tools, Favorites and the other options that were on top in earlier versions of Internet Explorer?
A: Microsoft has begun hiding the Menu Bar in popular programs such as Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer, and has removed the Menu Bar entirely from Microsoft Word 2007 and some other software. In Internet Explorer 7, you can unhide the Menu Bar by going to the upper-right corner and single left-clicking on the Tools button. Then put a checkmark next to the Menu Bar option.
Tip: In Windows Media Player 11, you can unhide the Menu Bar by using the Layout Options button (next to the search area).

Read Answer HereQ: Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11 and Microsoft Outlook 2002 10.6822.6830 SP3 keep crashing. Is it because I am running Windows XP Home Edition 2002 SP3 on a computer with an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1700 MHz 1.70 GHz 384 MG of RAM? I’m afraid that my motherboard is not powerful enough and that I don’t have enough memory to run the software I have. I’m also afraid that I need to upgrade to Outlook 2007 as well as upgrade my motherboard. Thanks.
A: Hello! It seems like you are having a compatibility issue between Internet Explorer and Spybot. (I am assuming you are running Spybot, as your symptoms are exactly those caused by incompatibility between the two programs.)
This behavior is actually a “feature” of SDHelper. Basically Spybot is trying to block websites that it deems risky. The software is trying to prevent you from visiting any sites that could potentially infect your machine with malware, spyware, all of that bad stuff.
To change the behavior, you can configure Spybot in Internet Explorer. Simply access Tools, Spybot S&D Configuration, selecting “blocking confirmation.” This will set Internet Explorer to ask you about blocking sites rather than simply shutting down your browser and Outlook.
If you would rather not have SDHelper running at all (this will stop the blocked site notifications) you can disable it. To do so, access Spybot S&D, Advanced Mode, Tools, Resident. Here you can disable the Helper. Once you have done this, you will need to restart Internet Explorer to see the results.
Another thing I would be certain to do is notify Microsoft about the behavior. Since you are using SP3, which is still in Beta testing, you will want to inform them of the issue just in case it has something to do with the service pack.
I hope this information helps! Thanks!
